Most likely they can. All that smoke and heat and fire coming from the spaceship can do alot of damage to the atmosphere.
However, the fire and all that comes out with the torpedoes that fall off when it the comes into the air at a certain height. So they are helping the cause a little bit.

Not at all. The ozone layer suffers damage due to contaminants in the atmosphere--notably "CFC's". Those are largely restricted now--and data indicate the ozone layer is beginning to recover, though slowly.
But the rockets used for space travel and for launching satellites don't use CFCs--or other substances that can damage the environment generally. By and large, they use fuels that are environmentally friendly--and there is a strong desire among the scientists and engineers to keep it that way.
In theory, rocket exaust could damage the ozone layer IF flourine based fuels were used (flourine is the key element in CFCs). However, no rockets at this time use flourine--and because the exaust of such rocks would be very toxic, as well as environmentally damaging, its not likely it ever will e. In some ways, that's a shame--those flourine based fuels could actually be better than any we do use.

Don't think so.Unless he takes CFCs and makes them react with ozone.

It is not likely.
